Day 3: Amazing Almond Joy Cookies
Cookies are my ultimate weakness – after all, who needs cake when you have these delightful bites of joy? From getting them as gifts to baking them myself, the holidays are all about cookies in my house. These recipes, like many of mine, have been lovingly tweaked over the years to become absolute favorites. So, get ready to indulge in some truly irresistible Christmas cookie magic! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
The cookie dough will be very sticky. It is best to use a 1″ cookie scoop. You can get a heaping scoop of the mix and gently roll to shape a ball.
This cookies tastes incredible with a hot cup of coffee. My problem, I need to stay out of them until Christmas!
Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy a couple before you store them for the holidays. Believe me when I tell you they are so delicious! ENJOY!
